Two workshops, held in the UK next Spring, address a broad range of new-media related questions. Initiated by Natalya Rulyova & Jeremy Morris (Birmingham), our own Vlad Strukov (Leeds), and Seth Graham (SSEES), they bear the overall title New Media in New Europe-Asia. The organizers are applying for CEELBAS support and plan to publish a selection of papers in a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies. 

Do you have a scholarly interest in social-networking practices? With a special focus on the RuNet? Do consider the below reminder - deadline: July 1 - of the call for papers for The Russian Cyberspace Journal, issue 2. The Russian Cyberspace Journal, of which this LJ is the blog pendant, is a peer-reviewed online journal, whose first journal has been avidly visited. In other words, thorough feedback and a wide audience would be guaranteed.
